Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of Taiwan application Serial No. 99121914, filed Jul. 2, 2010, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The disclosure relates in general to an antenna, and more particularly to an antenna the operating bandwidth of which covers several operating bands and a method for an antenna to be capable of multiband operation.
- In comparison to the second or third generation mobile communication system, e.g. GSM/UMTS (Global System for Mobile Communication/Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) systems, the fourth generation mobile communication system, e.g. LTE (Long Term Evolution) system, could achieve higher wireless uploading and downloading data rates, and could provide the users with better mobile broadband Internet and wireless multi-media service.
- In order to reduce the opportunity of users having to change mobile phones for different mobile communication systems used in different countries or areas, the mobile communication devices of LTE system must also be capable of GSM/UMTS operations. Thus, a compact antenna whose operating bands could meet the bandwidth requirements of LTE, GSM, and UMTS systems for multiband and wideband operation has become an important study topic.
- For designing a single antenna to meet the bandwidth requirement of dual-band operation for GSM850/GSM900 systems (824˜960 MHz), operating bandwidth of the antenna around 890 MHz must be larger than 136 MHz (the fractional bandwidth is about 16%). However, for designing a single antenna to meet the bandwidth requirement of tri-band operation for LTE700/GSM850/GSM900 systems (698˜960 MHz), operating bandwidth of the antenna around 830 MHz must be larger than 260 MHz (the fractional bandwidth is about 30%), wherein the required operating bandwidth is nearly doubled. Besides, it is even more difficult for the case of designing the single antenna capable of LTE700/GSM850/GSM900 operation to further meet the bandwidth requirement of penta-band operation for GSM1800/GSM1900/UMTS/LTE2300/LTE2500 systems (1710˜2690 MHz) at higher frequency bands simultaneously, that is, operating bandwidth of the antenna around 2200 MHz must also be larger than 460 MHz (the fractional bandwidth is larger than 40%).
- Thus, it is indeed a challenge of designing a single antenna to meet bandwidth requirements of the tri-band operation for LTE700/GSM850/GSM900 systems and the penta-band operation for GSM1800/GSM1900/UMTS/LTE2300/LTE2500 systems in a limited space of a mobile communication device.
- Embodiments of a multiband antenna and a method for an antenna to be capable of multiband operation are provided. The technical problems mentioned above could be resolved in some practical examples according to the embodiments below.
- According to an embodiment of this disclosure, a multiband antenna comprising a ground plane and a radiating portion is provided. The radiating portion comprises a first metal portion, a second metal portion, an inductively-coupled portion and a third metal portion. The first metal portion comprises a first coupling metal portion and a signal feeding line, which is electrically connected to the first coupling metal portion and has a signal feeding point. The second metal portion comprises a second coupling metal portion and a shorting metal portion, which is electrically connected to the second coupling metal portion and has a shorting point electrically connected to the ground plane. The second coupling metal portion is coupled to the first coupling metal portion and a capacitively-coupled portion is formed between the first and the second coupling metal portions. The inductively-coupled portion is connected between the third and the second metal portion. The first and the second metal portions enable the multiband antenna to generate a first operating band. The first, the second and the third metal portion enable the multiband antenna to generate a second operating band. The frequencies of the second operating band are lower than those of the first operating band.
- According to another embodiment of this disclosure, a method for an antenna to be capable of multiband operation, for use in a communication device, is provided. The method comprises the following steps. An inductively-coupled portion is connected between an open-loop metal portion and an extended metal portion to form an antenna. In the antenna, the open-loop metal portion comprises a first metal portion connected to a signal source and at least one second metal portion shorted to a ground plane, wherein there is at least one capacitively-coupled portion to be formed between the first metal portion and the at least one second metal portion. When the antenna operates at a higher frequency band, the inductively-coupled portion enables the open-loop metal portion to equivalently perform as another open-loop antenna to generate a first operating band for the antenna. When the antenna operates at a relatively lower frequency band, the open-loop metal portion equivalently performs as a feeding-matching portion of the extended metal portion to enable the antenna to generate a second operating band. The frequencies of the second operating band are lower than those of the first operating band.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of amultiband antenna 1 according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Themultiband antenna 1 comprises aground plane 11 and aradiating portion 12 disposed on adielectric substrate 13, wherein theradiating portion 12 comprises afirst metal portion 14, asecond metal portion 15, athird metal portion 17, and an inductively-coupledportion 18. Thefirst metal portion 14 comprises a firstcoupling metal portion 141 and asignal feeding line 142. Thesignal feeding line 142 is electrically connected to the firstcoupling metal portion 141 and has asignal feeding point 143. Thesignal feeding point 143 is connected to asignal source 144. Thesecond metal portion 15 comprises a secondcoupling metal portion 151 and ashorting metal portion 152. The shortingmetal portion 152 is electrically connected to the secondcoupling metal portion 151 and has ashorting point 153 electrically connected to theground plane 11. The secondcoupling metal portion 151 is coupled to the firstcoupling metal portion 141 to form a capacitively-coupledportion 16, wherein there is acoupling slit 161 between the secondcoupling metal portion 151 and the firstcoupling metal portion 141. The inductively-coupledportion 18 is connected between thethird metal portion 17 and thesecond metal portion 15. The inductively-coupledportion 18 has a lumpedinductor 181. Thefirst metal portion 14 and thesecond metal portion 15 enable themultiband antenna 1 to generate afirst operating band 21. Thefirst metal portion 14 and thesecond metal portion 15 and thethird metal portion 17 enable themultiband antenna 1 to generate asecond operating band 22. The frequencies of thesecond operating band 22 are lower than those of thefirst operating band 21. -
FIG. 2 shows the measured return loss of themultiband antenna 1 ofFIG. 1 . The experiment is conducted with the following measurements. Theground plane 11 has a length of about 100 mm, and a width of about 50 mm. Thedielectric substrate 13 has a height of about 15 mm, a width of about 50 mm and a thickness of about 0.8 mm. For the firstcoupling metal portion 141 of thefirst metal portion 14, the length is about 19 mm, and the width is about 3 mm. For thesignal feeding line 142 of thefirst metal portion 14, the length is about 7 mm, and the width is about 1.5 mm. For the capacitively-coupledportion 16, the gap of the coupling slit 161 is about 0.3 mm, and the gap of the coupling slit 151 should be less than or equal to one-hundredth wavelength of the lowest operating frequency of the second operating band 22 (698 MHz for example) so as to provide sufficient capacitive coupling for themultiband antenna 1. For the secondcoupling metal portion 151 of thesecond metal portion 15, the total length is about 32 mm, and the width is about 1.5 mm. For the shortingmetal portion 152 of thesecond metal portion 15, the total length is about 24 mm, and the width is about 1 mm. For thethird metal portion 17, the total length is about 44 mm, the width is about 2.5 mm, and the length of the third metal portion should be less than or equal to one-fifth wavelength of the lowest operating frequency of thesecond operating band 22. The inductance of the lumpedinductor 181 of the inductively-coupledportion 18 is about 8.2 nH. The inductively-coupledportion 18 performs as a low-pass filter which has high input impedance at a higher frequency band of the antenna. Thus, an open-loop antenna could be equivalently formed by thefirst metal portion 14 and thesecond metal portion 15 at the higher frequency band. Moreover, the capacitively-coupledportion 16 between thefirst metal portion 14 and thesecond metal portion 15 could enable the open-loop antenna to generate a wideband resonant mode at the higher frequency band, so that thefirst operating band 21 of themulti-band antenna 1 could be formed with a wide operating bandwidth. Besides, the capacitively-coupledportion 16 and the shortingmetal portion 152 of thesecond metal portion 15, at a relatively lower frequency band, could equivalently perform as a feeding-matching portion of themultiband antenna 1 for effectively improving the impedance matching of the resonant mode generated at the lower frequency band, so that thesecond operating band 22 of themultiband antenna 1 could be formed with a wide operating bandwidth. From the experimental results, based on the 6 dB return loss definition acceptable for practical application, thefirst operating band 21 generated by themultiband antenna 1 covers the penta-band operation of GSM1800/GSM1900/UMTS/LTE2300/LTE2500 (1710˜2690 MHz) systems, and thesecond operating band 22 generated by themultiband antenna 1 covers the tri-band operation of LTE700/GSM850/GSM900 (698˜960 MHz) systems. Thus, themultiband antenna 1 could meet the bandwidth requirements of the LTE/GSM/UMTS systems for wideband and multiband operation. -
FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of amultiband antenna 3 according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Themultiband antenna 3 comprises aground plane 11 and a radiatingportion 12. The radiatingportion 12, disposed on adielectric substrate 13, comprises afirst metal portion 34, asecond metal portion 35, an inductively-coupledportion 38 and athird metal portion 17. Thefirst metal portion 34 comprises a firstcoupling metal portion 341 and asignal feeding line 342. Thesignal feeding line 342 is electrically connected to the firstcoupling metal portion 341 and has asignal feeding point 343. Thesignal feeding point 343 is connected to asignal source 144. Thesecond metal portion 35 comprises a secondcoupling metal portion 351 and a shortingmetal portion 352. The shortingmetal portion 352 is electrically connected to the secondcoupling metal portion 351 and has ashorting point 353 electrically connected to theground plane 11. The secondcoupling metal portion 351 is coupled to the firstcoupling metal portion 341 to form a capacitively-coupledportion 36, wherein there is acoupling slit 361 between the secondcoupling metal portion 351 and the firstcoupling metal portion 341. The inductively-coupledportion 38 is connected between thethird metal portion 17 and thesecond metal portion 35. The inductively-coupledportion 38 has a low-pass filter 381. - The major difference between the
multiband antenna 3 and themultiband antenna 1 is that the lumpedinductor 181 is replaced by a low-pass filter 381 whose cutoff frequency is about 1.5 GHz. However, the low-pass filter 381 also has high input impedance when themultiband antenna 3 operates at a higher frequency band, so that thefirst metal portion 34 and thesecond metal portion 35 could also equivalently perform as a wideband open-loop antenna at the higher frequency band (similarly, this property could also be achieved by a band-stop filter). In addition, the structural change of thesecond metal portion 35 shown inFIG. 3 also causes the shape of the coupling slit 361 of the capacitively-coupledportion 36 to be changed accordingly. Nevertheless, by fine tuning the length of the shortingmetal portion 352, the capacitively-coupledportion 36 and the shortingmetal portion 352 of thesecond metal portion 35, at a relatively lower frequency band of themultiband antenna 3, could also equivalently perform as a feeding-matching portion of themultiband antenna 3 for effectively improving the impedance matching of the resonant mode generated at the lower frequency band, so that themultiband antenna 3 could generate asecond operating band 42 with a wide operating bandwidth. Besides, the capacitively-coupledportion 36 could also provide coupling effect similar to that provided by the capacitively-coupledportion 16 of themultiband antenna 1. That is, the open-loop antenna equivalently formed by thefirst metal portion 34 and thesecond metal portion 35 could also generate a wideband resonant mode at the higher frequency band, so that themultiband antenna 3 could generate afirst operating band 41 with a wide operating bandwidth. Thus, the antenna performance similar to that of themultiband antenna 1 could also be achieved bymultiband antenna 3.FIG. 4 shows the measured return loss of themultiband antenna 3. From the experimental results, based on the 6 dB return loss definition acceptable for practical application, thefirst operating band 41 generated by themultiband antenna 3 covers the penta-band operation of GSM1800/GSM1900/UMTS/LTE2300/LTE2500 (1710˜2690 MHz) systems, and thesecond operating band 42 generated by themultiband antenna 3 covers the tri-band operation of LTE700/GSM850/GSM900 (698˜960 MHz) systems. Thus, themultiband antenna 3 could meet the bandwidth requirements of the LTE/GSM/UMTS systems for wideband and multiband operation. -
FIG. 5 shows a schematic diagram of amultiband antenna 5 according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Themultiband antenna 5 comprises aground plane 11 and a radiatingportion 12. The radiatingportion 12, located on adielectric substrate 13, comprises afirst metal portion 54, asecond metal portion 55, an inductively-coupledportion 18, and athird metal portion 17. Thefirst metal portion 54 comprises a firstcoupling metal portion 541 and asignal feeding line 542. Thesignal feeding line 542 is electrically connected to the firstcoupling metal portion 541 and has asignal feeding point 543. Thesignal feeding point 543 is connected to asignal source 144. Thesecond metal portion 55 comprises a secondcoupling metal portion 551 and a shortingmetal portion 552. The shortingmetal portion 552 is electrically connected to the secondcoupling metal portion 551 and has ashorting point 553 electrically connected to theground plane 11. A meanderedcoupling slit 561 is constructed between thecoupling metal portion 551 and the firstcoupling metal portion 541 to form a capacitively-coupledportion 56. The inductively-coupledportion 18 is connected between thethird metal portion 17 and thesecond metal portion 55. The inductively-coupledportion 18 has a lumpedinductor 181. The major difference between themultiband antenna 5 and themultiband antenna 1 is that the capacitively-coupledportion 56 of themultiband antenna 5 is formed in a type of an interdigital gap capacitor and has a meanderedcoupling slit 561. However, the capacitively-coupledportion 56 could also provide coupling effect similar to that provided by the capacitively-coupledportion 16 of themultiband antenna 1 ofFIG. 1 . Thus, the antenna performance similar to that of themultiband antenna 1 could also be achieved bymultiband antenna 5. -
FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of amultiband antenna 6 according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Themultiband antenna 6 comprises aground plane 11 and a radiatingportion 12. The radiatingportion 12, located on adielectric substrate 13, comprises afirst metal portion 14, asecond metal portion 15, an inductively-coupledportion 18, and athird metal portion 17. Thefirst metal portion 14 comprises a firstcoupling metal portion 141 and asignal feeding line 142. Thesignal feeding line 142 is electrically connected to the firstcoupling metal portion 141 and has asignal feeding point 143. Thesignal feeding point 143 is connected to asignal source 144. Thesecond metal portion 15 comprises a secondcoupling metal portion 151 and a shortingmetal portion 152. The shortingmetal portion 152 is electrically connected to the secondcoupling metal portion 151 and has ashorting point 153 electrically connected to theground plane 11. The radiatingportion 12 further has a metal plate 663 interposed between the secondcoupling metal portion 151 and the firstcoupling metal portion 141, wherein the metal plate 663 divides the slit therebetween into slits 661 and 662, to form a capacitively-coupled portion 66. The inductively-coupledportion 18 is connected between thethird metal portion 17 and thesecond metal portion 15. The inductively-coupledportion 18 has a lumpedinductor 181. The major difference between themultiband antenna 6 and themultiband antenna 1 is that the capacitively-coupled portion 66 of themultiband antenna 6 is formed in a different capacitor type. However, the capacitively-coupled portion 66 of themultiband antenna 6 could also provide coupling effect similar to that provided by the capacitively-coupledportion 16 of themultiband antenna 1. Thus, the antenna performance similar to that of themultiband antenna 1 could also be achieved by themultiband antenna 6. -
FIG. 7 shows the measured return loss of themultiband antenna 6 ofFIG. 6 . The experiment is conducted with the following measurements. For theground plane 11, the length is about 100 mm, and the width is about 50 mm. For thedielectric substrate 13, the height is about 15 mm, the width is about 50 mm, and the thickness is about 0.8 mm. For the firstcoupling metal portion 141 of thefirst metal portion 14, the length is about 19 mm, and the width is about 3 mm. For thesignal feeding line 142 of thefirst metal portion 14, the length is about 7 mm, and the width is about 1.5 mm. For the metal plate 663, the length is about 19 mm, and the width is about 0.5 mm. The gap of coupling slit 661 and the coupling slit 662 both are about 0.3 mm, and should be less than or equal to one-hundredth wavelength of the lowest operating frequency of the second operating band 72 (698 MHz for example) so as to provide sufficient capacitive coupling for themultiband antenna 6. For the secondcoupling metal portion 151 of thesecond metal portion 15, the total length is about 32 mm, and the width is about 1.5 mm. For the shortingmetal portion 152 of thesecond metal portion 15, the total length is about 24 mm, and the width is about 1 mm. For thethird metal portion 17, the total length is about 44 mm, the width is about 2.5 mm, and the length of the third metal portion should be less than or equal to one-fifth wavelength of the lowest operating frequency of thesecond operating band 72. The inductance of the lumpedinductor 181 of the inductively-coupledportion 18 is about 8.2 nH. The inductively-coupledportion 18 performs as a low-pass filter which has high input impedance at a higher frequency band of the antenna. Thus, an open-loop antenna could be equivalently formed by thefirst metal portion 14 and thesecond metal portion 15 at the higher frequency band. Moreover, the capacitively-coupled portion 66 between thefirst metal portion 14 and thesecond metal portion 15 could enable the open-loop antenna to generate a wideband resonant mode at the higher frequency band, so that thefirst operating band 71 of themultiband antenna 6 could be formed with a wide operating bandwidth. In addition, the capacitively-coupled portion 66 and the shortingmetal portion 152 of thesecond metal portion 15, at a relatively lower frequency band, could equivalently perform as a feeding-matching portion of themultiband antenna 6 for effectively improving the impedance matching of the resonant mode generated at the lower frequency band, so that themultiband antenna 6 could generate thesecond operating band 72 with a wide operating bandwidth. From the experimental results, based on the 6 dB return loss definition acceptable for practical application, thefirst operating band 71 generated by themultiband antenna 6 covers the penta-band operation of GSM1800/GSM1900/UMTS/LTE2300/LTE2500 (1710˜2690 MHz) systems, and thesecond operating band 72 generated by themultiband antenna 6 covers the tri-band operation of LTE700/GSM850/GSM900 (698˜960 MHz) systems. Thus, themultiband antenna 6 could meet the bandwidth requirements of the LTE/GSM/UMTS systems for wideband and multiband operation. -

However, the inductively-coupledportion 88 formed by the meanderedmetal line 881 could also equivalently function like the inductively-coupledportion 18 of themultiband antenna 1 ofFIG. 1 . Thus, the antenna performance similar to that of themultiband antenna 1 could also be achieved by themultiband antenna 8. - In addition to the above embodiments, other embodiments according to the disclosed multiband antenna (such as
multiband antenna portion 12 implemented in different three-dimensional (3-D) structures or on the surfaces of different supportingmembers 121 located on or above thedielectric substrate 13. For example,FIGS. 9A and 9B illustrate two embodiments of the radiatingportion 12 of the disclosed multiband antenna to be implemented in different 3-D structures and located on thedielectric substrate 13, wherein thethird metal portion 17 is constructed in a 3-D structure.FIGS. 9C and 9D illustrate two embodiments of the radiatingportion 12 of the disclosed multiband antenna to be implemented in different 3-D structures and on the surfaces of different supportingmembers 121, wherein the supportingmember 121 could be a cube or have a curved surface. The antenna performance similar to that of themultiband antenna 1 could also be achieved by the multiband antennas ofFIGS. 9A , 9B, 9C and 9D. - The multiband antenna disclosed in the above embodiments comprises a ground plane and a radiating portion. The radiating portion, which could be implemented in a planar structure or a 3-D structure, is located on or above a dielectric substrate and comprises a first metal portion, a second metal portion, an inductively-coupled portion and a third metal portion. The first metal portion comprises a first coupling metal portion and a signal feeding line. The signal feeding line is electrically connected to the first coupling metal portion and has a signal feeding point. The signal feeding point is connected to a signal source. The second metal portion comprises a second coupling metal portion and a shorting metal portion. The shorting metal portion is electrically connected to the second coupling metal portion and has a shorting point electrically connected to the ground plane. The second coupling metal portion is coupled to the first coupling metal portion to form a capacitively-coupled portion, wherein there is at least one coupling slit between the second coupling metal portion and the first coupling metal portion. The inductively-coupled portion is connected between the third metal portion and the second metal portion. The inductively-coupled portion may include a lumped inductive element, a low-pass filter, a band-stop filter, or a meandered metal line, and could have high input impedance when the antenna operates at a higher frequency band. Thus, an open-loop antenna could equivalently formed by the first and the second metal portions for the multiband antenna to generate a first operating band. Moreover, the capacitively-coupled portion between the first metal portion and the second metal portion could enable the open-loop antenna to generate a wideband resonant mode at the higher frequency band, so that the first operating band of the multiband antenna could be formed with a wide operating bandwidth. Further, the capacitively-coupled portion and the shorting metal portion of the second metal portion, at a relatively lower frequency band of the multiband antenna, could equivalently perform as a feeding-matching portion of the multiband antenna for effectively improving the impedance matching of the resonant mode generated at the lower frequency band, so that the multiband antenna could generate a second operating band with a wide operating bandwidth. The frequencies of the second operating band are lower than those of the first operating band. Thus, when the multiband antenna disclosed in the above embodiments is used in a wireless or mobile communication device, the communication device could meet the bandwidth requirement of the LTE/GSM/UMTS systems for wideband and multiband operation. In addition to achieving the requirements of being capable of wideband and multiband operation, the disclosed multiband antenna could also be implemented in a compact antenna size, and could be easily integrated in a wireless or mobile communication device. Furthermore, for practical application, a wireless or mobile communication device could also be integrated with multiple disclosed multiband antennas to realize a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna architecture, so that the wireless or mobile communication device could achieve higher data transmission rates.
- The disclosed embodiments of multiband antennas could be used in various devices with wireless or mobile communication function. Examples of the mobile communication or computing devices are such as mobile phones, navigating systems, electronic books, personal digital assistants and multi-media players, computer systems such as vehicle computers, notebook computers, and personal computer, equipment for telecommunication or network, and peripheral equipment for computer or network such as routers, IP sharing device (i.e., network address translation device), wireless network cards, and so on.
- Besides, the
ground plane 11 of the disclosed multiband antenna (such asmultiband antennas portion 12.FIG. 10A shows an embodiment of theground plane 11 of the multiband antenna having apartial region 111 extended beside the radiatingportion 12.FIG. 10B shows an embodiment of theground plane 11 of the multiband antenna havingpartial regions portion 12. -
FIGS. 10C and 10D show two embodiments of theground plane 11 of the multiband antenna having apartial region 111 extended below the radiatingportion 12.FIGS. 10E and 10F show two other embodiments of theground plane 11 of the multiband antenna having apartial region 111 extended beside the radiatingportion 12. - When the
ground plane 11 of the disclosed multiband antenna has apartial region 111 extended beside or below the radiatingportion 12, the antenna performance similar to that of themultiband antenna 1 ofFIG. 1 could also be obtained. In addition, thepartial region ground plane 11 extended to the vicinity of the radiatingportion 12 could be further used for placing other energy transmission elements, such as connectors for universal serial bus (USB), speaker elements, antenna elements or integrated circuit (IC). Besides, the partial region of theground plane 11 extended to the vicinity of the radiatingportion 12 could also shield the user's head or body from the near-field electromagnetic radiation energy of the radiatingportion 12. Thus, when the disclosed multiband antenna is employed in a communication device, it could reduce the measured electromagnetic wave specific absorption rate (SAR) of the communication device or make the communication device meet the hearing-aid capability (HAC) standard. -
FIGS. 11A , 11B, 11C, 11D, 11E, 11F, and 11G respectively show schematic diagrams of embodiments of antennas implemented according to a method for an antenna to be capable of multiband operation. The method comprises the following steps. An inductively-coupledportion 1101 is connected between an open-loop metal portion 1102 and anextended metal portion 1103 to form an antenna. In the antenna, the open-loop metal portion 1102 comprises afirst metal portion 1104 connected to asignal source 1106 and at least onesecond metal portion 1107 shorted to aground plane 1109, wherein there is a capacitively-coupledportion 1110 between thefirst metal portion 1104 and the at least onesecond metal portion 1107. When the antenna operates at a higher frequency band, the inductively-coupledportion 1101 enables the open-loop metal portion 1102 to equivalently perform as another open-loop antenna to generate a first operating band for the antenna. When the antenna operates at a relatively lower frequency band, the open-loop metal portion 1102 equivalently performs as a feeding-matching portion of theextended metal portion 1103 to enable the antenna to generate a second operating band. The frequencies of the second operating band are lower than those of the first operating band. - In the present method, the inductively-coupled
portion 1101 could be a low-pass filter circuit, element or circuit layout, which has high input impedance at the higher frequency band so that the open-loop metal portion 1102 could equivalently perform as another open-loop antenna to generate the first operating band of the antenna. Besides, when the antenna operates at the relatively lower frequency band, the at least onesecond metal portion 1107 and the at least one capacitively-coupledportion 1110 of the open-loop metal portion 1102, could equivalently perform as a feeding-matching portion of theextended metal portion 1103 to generate the second operating band of the antenna. The inductively-coupledportion 1101 could be connected between theextended metal portion 1103 and the at least onesecond metal portion 1107 of the open-loop metal portion 1102 as shown inFIGS. 11A , 11B, 11C, 11D, 11F, 11G, or connected between theextended metal portion 1103 and thefirst metal portion 1104 of the open-loop metal portion 1102 as shown inFIG. 11E . As shown inFIGS. 11B and 11C , theextended metal portion 1103 comprises a plurality of metal branches. In a method for an antenna to be capable of multiband operation disclosed, theextended metal portion 1103, thefirst metal portion 1104 and the at least onesecond metal portion 1107 could be formed in other shapes with smooth curves as shown inFIGS. 11F and 11G . - In the present method, the inductively-coupled portion, the extended metal portion, and the open-loop metal portion could be implemented according to each of the above embodiments so as to all achieve multiband antenna designs. In addition, as disclosed in the above embodiments, the disclosed method enables the antenna to be capable of multiband operation.
- According to the method for an antenna to be capable of multiband operation disclosed in the above embodiments, an antenna is implemented by connecting an inductively-coupled portion between an open-loop metal portion and an extended metal portion. The open-loop metal portion has a first metal portion to be connected to a signal source and at least one second metal portion shorted to a ground plane, and there is at least one capacitively-coupled portion to be formed between the first metal portion and the at least one second metal portion. When the antenna operates at a higher frequency band, the inductively-coupled portion of the antenna could perform as a band-stop filter or low-pass filter, which could generate high input impedance, so that the open-loop metal portion of the antenna could equivalently perform as another open-loop antenna to generate a first operating band of the antenna. Besides, the capacitively-coupled portion of the open-loop metal portion could enable the open-loop antenna to generate a wideband resonant mode at the higher frequency band, so that the first operating band of the antenna could be formed with a wide operating bandwidth. Moreover, when the antenna operates at a relatively lower frequency band, the second metal portion and the capacitively-coupled portion of the open-loop metal portion could equivalently perform as a feeding-matching portion of the extended metal portion for effectively improving the impedance matching of the resonant mode generated at the relatively lower frequency band. Thus, the antenna could generate a second operating band with a wide operating bandwidth when the antenna operates at the lower frequency band.
- The antenna designed according to the method of this disclosure not only could enable the antenna to be capable of multiband operation but also could achieve the antenna with a compact size. Thus, the antenna could be easily integrated or used in wireless or mobile communication devices. In practical application, the disclosed multiband antenna could be integrated in a wireless or mobile communication device with a compact antenna size, so that multiple disclosed multiband antennas could also be integrated in the wireless or mobile communication device to realize multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna architecture. Thus, the wireless or mobile communication device could achieve higher data transmission rates.
- While the disclosure has been described by way of examples and in terms of the preferred embodiment (s), it is to be understood that the disclosure is not limited thereto. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and the scope of the appended claims therefore should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures.
